The moon was softly shining on an old Kentucky home 
A7                         D 
The fragrance of magnolias filled the air 
                                 G                     E7 
A lonely girl was writing to her sweetheart ?cross the foam 
A7                               D 
May God protect you darling over there

Silver dew on the bluegrass tonight 
                                   D 
How it shines in the moon's silver light 
             D7            G                     E7 
Soldier boy so far from me how I wish that you could see

Silver dew on the bluegrass tonight

Stars of gold on the old flag tonight 
                                     D 
While they fight for the cause that is right 
     D7                                  G            E7 
They will keep that flag on high for the ones who had to die

While I pray you'll come safe through the fight

Stars of gold on the old flag tonight.
